Example text

As such, educational linguistics brings together theoretical linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and anthropological linguistics (Spolsky, 1978: 3–6; 1985: 3435) as well as neurolinguistics, clinical linguistics, pragmatics, and discourse analysis (Spolsky, 2003: 503). Many of these areas themselves represent an integration of linguistics and disciplines such as anthropology, neurobiology, psychology, and sociology. Any number of other disciplinary areas might be relevant as well, depending on the topic and/or the individual researcher.

Instead, in educational linguistics, the researcher starts with a problem (or theme) related to language and education and then “synthesizes the research tools in her/his intellectual repertoire to investigate or explore it” (Hornberger & Hult, 2006: 78). In most cases, many of the research tools to be synthesized will come from linguistics but certainly not linguistics alone (Hornberger, 2001: 8). Moreover, linguistics here does not refer only to a narrow conception of theoretical linguistics but to linguistics broadly conceived as the multiple systematic ways of studying language (Gee, 2001: 648–652).
